You can get a m3u8 url for a youtube live stream via:

streamlink https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia-NryuCzoA best --stream-url

VLC is somehow able to play this, but castnow is not able to load it.

However, castnow is able to load twitch m3u8 urls which you can get via:

youtube-dl -g https://www.twitch.tv/chess

The process looks more like this I'm afraid youtube-dl https://www.twitch.tv/chess

Then open another command window and play the file while it's being downloaded. castnow chess*.mp4
